Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 92 points: Brilliant red. Fresh red and blue fruits, pungent flowers, incense and smoky minerals on the highly perfumed nose. Pliant, spice-accented black raspberry, boysenberry, lavender pastille and cola flavors pick up a smoky...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: So smooth, this is a rich, grandiose wine. Although it is full of black currant fruits and spice flavors, the texture is most impressive. Dusty tannins are integrated with juicy fruits seamlessly. The purest fruit flavors...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: The nose is phenomenal with perfect aromas of Cabernet Sauvignon with currant bush, blackberries and minerals. A pure expression of Cab. The palate is perfect with a full body, but has perfectly integrated tannins with a...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: ID: 214041 This is an extremely fresh edition and remains in a restrained mode with an intense serve of chardonnay's lemon citrus dominating the nose alongside lime zest, bright florals, grassy elements, fresh dough...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: A wine with intense spice and berry character with hints of sweet tobacco. It changes all the time from flowers to fruit and wet earth. Full-bodied with super fine tannins and ripe fruit. It's long and juicy with lovely...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2003 Montrose was served blind in Bordeaux on two occasions. Picked between 11 to 26 September, it is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. It remains one of the...

Decanter, 98 points: A site-specific wine from three small plots of northfacing terraced vineyard on the Malvedos estate: wonderfully aromatic (high percentage of Touriga Nacional) with a classic floral character; soft, rich and opulent with...

View From The Cellar, 91 points: (JG88-91 points) The Tortochots’ parcel in Lavaux St. Jacques is planted with vines that are more than fifty years of age, and these old vines seem to have provided even a bit more stuffing to carry its equally hefty...

Decanter, 96 points: Among the most seductive noses from Pauillac. Strong, cassis-stained palate with a lovely sense of upwards motion and smooth, silky tannins that are starting to ease into the structure. Another vintage that shows why GPL...

jamessuckling.com, 100 points: This is crazy. The nose is so unique with the iodine, stones and currant aromas with wet earth and mushroom. Aromas like this don't usually come out until 10 years or so in the bottle. Classic nose for this estate...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: This is profound! 2008 Haut-Brion: The extraordinary 2008 Haut-Brion is a candidate for -wine of the vintage.- Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon 41% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc it reveals more evolution and complexity...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 100 points: Clinet has been on a hot streak lately and the 2009 appears to be the greatest wine ever made at the estate surpassing even the late Jean-Michel Arcaute's monumental 1989. A blend of 85% Merlot and tiny amounts of...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Initially the wine is all firm tannins but then there is a pure line of fresh black fruits that comes through with cranberry tannins and blackberry jamminess. Above it all is succulent richness and clear acidity. A...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 99 points: At the top of the pyramid is the 2005 Syrah Astralis Vineyard. It is sourced from a vineyard planted in 1920 and is one of the Syrah cuvees in which 100% new oak is utilized (along with Brookman Hickinbotham and Piggott...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2008 Espectacle del Montsant continues a string of great successes dating from the first vintage in 2004. The sheer level of density and richness is stunning although the fruit is very primary at this stage of its...
